Back Alley Musicals will stage The Spitfire Grill, the heartwarming story of Percy, a feisty young parolee with dreams for a better life who ends up in a small town in Wisconsin where she finds work at Hannah’s Spitfire Grill.
Though it’s the only eatery in this depressed town, the Spitfire is for sale but there are no takers. Percy comes up with a novel plan to sell it and convinces the aging Hannah to go along with her idea. Can this young woman with a past make a future for herself and Hannah?
Percy (Victoria Avery), Hannah (Lynn Roberson), and Shelby (Chelsea Payne) form a bond as they face challenges in their futures. Troy Duncan, Anthony Eiras, Alisa Hamilton, Kevin Brown, and Lily Berry complete the talented cast. Ryan Schisler is directing the show and David Roberson is music director.
Based on the 1996 movie by the same name, The Spitfire Grill has become an American theatre favorite. Music is by James Valcq and lyrics by Fred Alley.
